Hey everyone,
This week has been quite stressful cause I had all my windows and blinders replaced. I did that just because of green incentives from the government.
Something called “Ecobonus” it’s 65% in ten years.
The workers where a father with his two sons from Peru, but I believe they have been living over here for a while.
I asked the father whether he has some relatives in the US. That was affirmative.
They worked well, I cannot complain about anything. Good people.
I helped cause it’s chilly and it is better to move, so I took all the old windows down three flight of stairs.
Then I had to separate the glass from the wood. Smashing the glass was really noisy but rewarding and a little bit funny as well.
Man! the glass is really heavy. Now I have all that glass to put outside and I can tell you it’s heavy!
I am going to get rid of all that glass in quite a while I believe.
That’s stressful also because of the tag price. That is €9000,00.
This period I am spending too much!
In December I still need to pay for the divorce (Finally! after THREE years!) that what it takes here in Italy after the separation. That is going to be around €600,00.
Anyway, those are not big problems, I am not complaining, you know. It’s just for writing down something.
Thanks. hope you guys are all well. Bye!
Hi everyone
( podcast 1050 )
That kind of podcast is really useful like all but if I’ll travel to other country and get sick I’ll surely remember some of this words. This kind of theme can be dangerous to my health if I make a mistake since heartburn is something relative on my stomach and not my heart, something we sometimes found when learning others language.
Thank you and have a nice day
